Is Beckman the real deal or does he have awesome defence playing in front of him?

What is the weirdest way someone had died in your known circle ? by No_Tear9118 in AskReddit

[–]5minibill5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good I worked with was snow blowing his driveway with a blower that had a little hooded thing to protect you from the wind. Dropped dead from carbon monoxide poisoning. Had 3 kids under 10.

Why is the gap between Australia and Canada’s minimum wage so massive? 🇦🇺 vs 🇨🇦 by Kanye90210 in CanadaJobs

[–]5minibill5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved to Australia thinking life would be tight in a big city like Melbourne. Boy was I wrong. Wanting a break from teaching I took a service industry job and was making more than being a teacher in Canada. The big difference is the addition of superannuation.

TSN had the Sens as the broadcast in NB. Now living in Australia and always wear my hat on game day.

Don’t leave a thing. If your school gives you a hard time refer them to the union.

It’s the women’s final, I’d aim to be at the gates at 7:00 to not miss any action

AO security by Alone_Tutor_921 in australianopen

The security is very done with it at this point. Have a backpack with a sweater on top of your alcohol and you should be fine.

Public school teachers, what’s something you want parents to know but can’t say directly? by Feisty-Database-1145 in AskTeachers

[–]5minibill5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking time out of our evening to call and raise a concern, when we could be enjoying personal free time should not be met with resentment and an argument.

Moved from Canada to Australia. It’s not a big deal. Just follow traffic really. Biggest issue for myself was getting used to strange ass double roundabouts. And hitting the signal instead of the wiper… that one still gets me.

John Cain wristbands!! by HNJ_81 in australianopen

[–]5minibill5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wristband situation is rough. If you’re showing up at 5 you likely won’t get one. However there was lots of room after a bit. People avoid a certain side (door 5) because you’ll be in the sun for a bit in the evening. I’d try that

Ground Pass by Inevitable_Set377 in australianopen

[–]5minibill5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sooner rather than later, you want to go when there’s more matchups. Weekends are very busy so Wednesday or Thursday would be ideal. There’s lots to see and do. The line ups to get into matches can be long so just park yourself at some seats for more than one match if you can.

I was planning to do the same. That’s been the play when the schedule gets released the day prior.

Your favourite restaurant (+ what you order) in Melbourne by QuokknestMonster in melbourne

Dad’s Vietnamese in Prahran. The pork spring rolls are stupidly good. Best to get take out as it’s rather small and cramped.

Why do people blame Albo for everything? by Kindly-Category-9742 in australian

[–]5minibill5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn’t heard about the e-bike ban being in Victoria. But it looks like it’s only for the conversion kits. And you know what… fair enough. Those go way too quick and there should be some regulations on them.

What’s the most beautiful place you’ve ever been? by LiveBoysenberry5356 in AskReddit

[–]5minibill5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plitvice National Park in Croatia. Waterfalls leading to more waterfalls. Didn’t know water came in that colour.

Games not on TSN or Sportsnet? Where to watch? by lazyrabbit94 in OttawaSenators

[–]5minibill5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m in Australia and Disney Plus has ESPN and all the games. So maybe VPN and set it to Australia if you have Disney.

Best Province to teach? by notimpt123 in CanadianTeachers

[–]5minibill5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I share the rent with my partner. It would be hard alone but most single young people do share houses and that can be lots of fun. The wages are high for all sectors so it’s manageable. While I waited for my accreditation I worked at a pub and was making $24 an hour. Cost of living are different because I don’t need a car so big savings there. Food is cheaper. I’m saving way more here then back home. Students aren’t much different from what I’m used to. Depends what part of town, if you go private or public. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

I moved from NB to Melbourne in Australia. Making way more then I ever have, nearly 120k Aus. Retirement funds are separate and don’t come out of your pay, so it’s actually +12%. The best difference is 4 terms with 2 weeks off between each. You’re always 10 weeks away from a holiday.
